Gastrointestinal Surgery Management of Complex Perioperative Complications

“The intended audience is practicing general surgeons and surgical oncologists, but the book also can be useful for residents and advanced surgical trainees. … This is a good reference for general surgeons and cancer surgeons. It covers multiple pathological conditions seen during the postoperative period and provides useful information to guide clinical management decisions. The organizational scheme makes it easy to find detailed information about specific complications, tips on how to avoid them, and extensive suggestions on management.” (Prashant Khullar, Doody’s Book Reviews, April, 2016)
